Chapter 207 Sharp Tongue
The striking woman, Seraphina Bushwick, furrowed her brows. âDonât you see thereâs already a woman by his side? Besides, all the women whoâve approached him have been turned away. Iâm afraid you might not stand a chance.â
Sophia puffed out her chest and retorted. âYouâre really not wellâinformed. That woman is his godsister.â
âI donât think so. Seraphina prided herself on being a good judge of character. When Kallum looked at Calista, his gaze was not that of a brother looking at his sister. Instead, it was as if she was the only person. in the world, and everything else was inconsequential.
Sophia huffed, âEven if she isnât, so what? I come from a prestigious family, and Iâm far more voluptuous than her. I have more experience too. Does she even know how to please a man? Charlie once told me that women from Chanaca are quite boring in bed. Just you watch, Iâll definitely outshine her!â
After she finished speaking, she adjusted her jewelry and hair, picked up a glass of red wine, and walked toward Kallum.
Calista was feeling overwhelmed. Even though there were four people trailing behind Kallum, they could only assist Kallum in warding off those with ill intentions. When it came to fending off alcohol and women, they were of no help,
Luckily, there werenât many women of status here. Instead, there were many highâranking rulers from Corleon. They made excellent partners for collaboration. Perhaps with just a few words exchanged, both parties could reap tremendous benefits, so why not?
Quite a few individuals had traveled here by plane, perhaps harboring various intentions, or perhaps they simply wanted to see what this young head of the Fairchild family looked like, and whether he was easy to get along with.
At that moment, a woman pushed her way through.
âHello, Mr. Kallum. I wonder if I could have the honor of sharing a drink with you?â
Upon hearing a female voice, Calista immediately became cautious, wanting to forbid the other woman from approaching Kallum. However, the one who came this time wasnât just any ordinary socialite. Calista had a bit of an impression of her she was the daughter of the King of Steel in Corleon, a woman of such charm that with a mere crook of her finger, she could have a crowd of men falling at her feet.
âMy name is Sophia. Donât you want to chat with me?â Sophia asked, raising an eyebrow subtly at Kallum.
Her features were exceptionally delicate, and from her bold red lips to her curvaceous figure, every aspect of her exuded a seductive allure. Usually, a little initiative on her part was enough to win over anyone she desired, causing them to fall under her spell. Therefore, it was only natural that she had her sights set on Kallum this time.
If it were anyone else, Kallum would have felt the desire to engage in conversation. After all, he was a businessman, and he always had a bit more patience for those he found useful. But for a socialite like Sophia⦠he found her distasteful.

Ever since she began attending banquets at the age of twelve, Sophia had never experienced such a cold reception. A flashy of deliance sparked in her eyes, and she chased after Kallum.
âMr. Kallum, my father has been wanting to penetrate the market in Chanaca and has been looking for a partner. I wonder if you have any
âMs. Sopluaâ Seeing that Kallum was becoming impatient, Calista decided she had to intervene to prevent him from offending Sophia. With a smile, she said, âMr. Kallum already has a female companion for tonight.â
Naturally, Sophia understood the double entendre in those words.
âYou?â She scrutinized Calista with a critical eye before revealing a flirtatious smile. âLittle girl, you seem so frail. Mr. Kallum appears to be quite vigorous in that department Are you sure you can handle him all by yourself?â
Calista rarely encountered such hiery women. Feeling unsure, she asked, âWhat do you mean?â
Sophia hooked her arm around Calistaâs neck, teasingly blowing a breath against it. âIn your country, thereâs a phrase called the more the merrier, no? I donât mind sharing and can teach you a lot. Want to give it a try?â
Seeing Sophiaâs somewhat flirtatious gaze toward Calista, Kallum feared that this woman might not have qualms with sleeping with the fairer gender, so he quickly pulled Calista behind him.
âYou should consider switching to a stronger perfume when you go out in the future.â
A flash of disgust crossed his eyes, and his lips curled up in a mocking smile.
Unfortunately, Sophia didnât quite catch on, still basking in the joy of Kallum actually responding to her. Without thinking, she replied, âYou donât like a lighter scent?â
âThatâs not it.â Kallum scoffed, scrutinizing her with a discerning gaze, âIâm just worried that a mild Tragrance wouldnât be enough to mask your scent. Could you please stay away from me? Youâre stinking the air around me!â
After saying that, he didnât bother to check how Sophia reacted; he just took Calistaâs hand and left.
Calista shook her head. âYou really do have a sharp tongueâ¦
She had merely expressed a simple complaint, feeling that Sophia didnât seem too bad and that his words shouldnât be so hurtful, However, Kallum took it in an entirely different way.
Back when he despised Calista, he had spewed words far more vicious than this. If what he said truly hurt her⦠thenâ¦. would she hold a grudge against him?
He shot a guilty glance at Calista, wanting to ask yet afraid to do so. What if his question reminded her of a grudge she had forgotten? What would he do then?
Seeing Kallum frown, Calista thought she might have spoken too harshly.
âAll right, donât overthink it. After all⦠thatâs just your nature.â
